St. Agnes is beloved by many for her pure heart. Her name means “lamb” and her purity is symbolized by white wool. Every year, two lambs are honored on the feast of St. Agnes. They are carried in baskets with red and white flowers and placed before the pope for a special blessing. The wool of these lambs will later be used to make special garments for new archbishops. When life gets a little hard, we can find calm and peace thinking of St. Agnes and her special lambs.

St. Francis lived simply and loved being with God’s creation. He spent much of his time outdoors praying among the trees, animals and sunshine. One day, St. Francis asked his friends if he should continue his work as a preacher or spend more time alone in silent prayer. They told him, “You must continue to preach!” Francis was so excited by their answer that he immediately started preaching... to the nearby birds! To each bird he said, “In every beat of your wing and every note of your song, praise Him!”

Legend has it that Abigail once called her bees from their hives to chase off evil-doers! Some even say the bees miraculously changed into soldiers and their hives transformed into bronze helmets! Abigail cared for the less fortunate until she was called to Heaven. In Irish folklore, that is represented by... a flying bee!.

St. Martin de Porres ran a shelter where he would care for the sick and poor, even sick animals! He loved all animals, but Martin knew there were too many mice running around the streets of his city. They were climbing in pots and scurrying through houses. The cats could not keep up with them! Legend has it that Martin asked the mice to kindly leave. Because of Martin’s gentle nature, the mice listened to him. The cats he cared for at his shelter were able to rest until they were strong enough to find new homes.
